Answer: 15.707 feet of fence.

Explanation: The formula to find this would be the one you’d use to find circumference, which is: C = 2(Pi)r

Half of the diameter is the radius, so plug that in and it becomes:

C = 2(pi)2.5

Then you just solve it and the result is C = 15.707

Answer: The minimum amount of fence Laura will need is 15.70 ft.

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to find the circumference of the pond.

The formula for the circumference (C) is:

C = π x d

Where "d" is the diameter.

Replacing with the values given:

C = π x 5 =15.70ft

The minimum amount of fence Laura will need is 15.70 ft.

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
